BetCRIS.com Posts Odds on the 2008 Beijing Olympics
June 27, Costa Rica - With hundreds of millions of dollars invested in Chinese athletic training for the Olympics, and what could be the greatest home crowd advantage in Olympic history, the People's Republic of China (PRC) is hoping to add an exclamation point to its ascension as a world power by winning the most medals and the most gold medals of any nation in the summer Olympics in Beijing.
Not only do BetCRIS.com odds makers currently favor China to greatly surpass its highest number of medals in a summer Olympics but they also favor China to top the United States in summer Olympic medals for the first time in modern Olympic history. It should be noted that The People Republic of China did not even win a gold medal at any summer Olympics after 1945 until 1984. The most total medals the PRC has won at a summer Olympics is 63 in Athens in 2004, and the most gold medals the PRC has won at a summer Olympics is 32 in Athens in 2004.

"If this was poker, I'd say that China is `all-in' on this summer's Olympics in Beijing," said Esteban Siles, spokesman for BetCRIS.com. "With the hopes and dreams and expectations of the Chinese nation driving them, the Chinese athletes will be hard to beat in their own house."
